On hardy:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

$ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/clock
ls: cannot access /etc/sysconfig/clock: No such file or directory
$ls -l /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3424 2009-03-31 14:36 /etc/localtime


On Intrepid (now 23:13):
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_10"
